a=2bc-2db
Use the distributive property to multiply 2b by c-d.
2bc-2db=a
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(2c-2d\right)b=a
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(2c-2d\right)b}{2c-2d}=\frac{a}{2c-2d}
Divide both sides by 2c-2d.
b=\frac{a}{2c-2d}
Dividing by 2c-2d undoes the multiplication by 2c-2d.
b=\frac{a}{2\left(c-d\right)}
Divide a by 2c-2d.
